In order to have some insight in e.g. where bending moments find their cause the visualisation of the displaced pipeline might be of use. Because the displacements will be relatively small a magnification factor may be applied. The original position of the pipeline will remain as a vague shadow.

With a Steel in Steel pipeline the outer pipeline will hide the inner pipeline. In order to have a look to the inner pipeline the outer one can be hidden. The outer pipeline will remain vaguely visible.

Selecting this option all entered polygon points from the POLYDIF table will be shown, together with the polygon lines.

As the polygon lines are positioned on the pipe axis they only will be visible at bends where the polygon points are outside the actual pipeline. Weak elements are polygon lines as well, but they are not made visible here. A separate checkbox can be selected to show the weaks.

When a certain view will be used more times, e.g. to get equal pictures in a report, there is the possibility to save the current viewport. When later on another picture has to be made the saved viewport can be loaded again.

The current view can be printed directly via the normal print dialog box. The view can also be exported to file (PNG or WMF) or exported (copied) to the clipboard. A pasted picture from the clipboard may look like this:
